@DMolesey26749@_andrearnaud@Alan__Shatter I don't need to provide an alternative. I'm stating my opinion which is that if you claim to be anti-capitalist then driving a luxury car makes you a hypocrite.
Once again, it comes down to living your principles and not wearing them as a costume when it suits
@DMolesey26749@_andrearnaud@Alan__Shatter Not for owning a car for owning a luxury car. A BMW is a luxury car. Any cheap car would, in my view, align better with anti-cap views or using a bike or public transport if a true socialist. I'm not claiming to live by a belief but doing the opposite so my position is serious.
@DMolesey26749@_andrearnaud@Alan__Shatter If someone claims to have principles but does not live by them then I will call them a hypocrite. I hate ppl who claim to be x while doing y in private.
It's not my job to research ways for other ppl to live by their principles. How do you not get that?
@DMolesey26749@_andrearnaud@Alan__Shatter I don't have to support my opinion that owning a luxury car while espousing anti-cap beliefs is hypocrisy. Just like you don't have to support your opinion that BMWs aren't a luxury & socialists don't have to live their values. We can have dif views without resorting to insults.
@_andrearnaud@DMolesey26749@Alan__Shatter It really is, it's sad how quick some ppl turn to insults when you don't just agree with them. A good discussion with opposing views while staying friendly is so scarce these days, I miss being able to argue a point and still have a laugh at the end.
@DMolesey26749@_andrearnaud@Alan__Shatter Nope cause those aren't my principles so why would I care. Your whole point seems to be that it's fine to abandon your principles when convenient. I disagree.
@DMolesey26749@_andrearnaud@Alan__Shatter You wanted me to tell you socialist car companies, that ain't my job because I'm not a socialist. My opinion is that if you claim to have certain principles but only live by those principles when it's convenient then you are a hypocrite.
@DMolesey26749@_andrearnaud@Alan__Shatter It's not my job to provide alternatives, I'm not anti-capitalist. I'm applying their owns views to their lifestyle. You can't shout that capitalism is bad while enjoying the perks of capitalism otherwise you will be called a hypocrite.
@DMolesey26749@StillJustGavin@_andrearnaud@Alan__Shatter What am I not doing well here? I'm doing a better job expressing my opinion than you are at challenging it.
I guess I'm just so poor that I view it as a luxury but it's good to see an anti-capitalist earning so much that a bmw is just a regular purchase.
@DMolesey26749@_andrearnaud@Alan__Shatter No but I'm not a socialist so it's doesn't matter to me. If someone has principles the they should apply those principles to all aspects of their lives even when inconvenient otherwise it's just virtue signalling hypocrisy.
@StillJustGavin@DMolesey26749@_andrearnaud@Alan__Shatter I'm not anti-capitalist so I shop wherever I want. I dislike the hypocrisy of ppl complaining that capitalism is bad yet they have no issue buying luxury high end stuff.
@BFaolain@DMolesey26749@_andrearnaud@Alan__Shatter Yes, those are the only options either buy a bmw or ride a donkey, you got me there π
Have a law degree actually but continue making assumptions if it makes you feel better
@QcWynter I'm glad I'm not the only animal servant reduced to drastic action. Just had to clean my dog's ears, he hates it. Takes 2 ppl to do it, husband distracts with ham while I sneak up and try to get the drops in quickly while he's eating or I loose a finger.
